We had our gmail account hacked recently, they also tried hacking Jbird's fb account and our ebay account. I don't know what all else. It's a frightening experience, to be locked out of your email account and told you will receive a verification sms to a phone number ending in digits that you are not familiar with. Thankfully, I found out just twenty minutes after it happened and was able to have gmail revert the verification sms back to our phone number (the previous one attached to the account). It's definitely time to change our passwords. We've also had credit card fraud before. I couldn't believe it when I saw someone was buying CDs and other items from somewhere in Switzerland. How does this happen? Do you have any further tips for internet security?
